There are Peregrines on top of the Hilton Metropole hotel on the junction of Edgware Road and Marylebone road close to the Westway flyover. Not sure if it's a breeding site but I often see one or sometimes a pair all year round.
The trouble is its not easy to observe. The best place is outside Paddington Green police station. However pointing your bins up at hotel windows outside a police station in the middle of London is probably not a great idea!
The two famous sites are the top of the Tate Modern and Charing Cross hospital (which is in Fulham not Charing Cross). If you check the net you might find up to date info on whether these sites are still being used by the Peregrines.

Charing Cross Hospital has a pair in residence. They've been seen mating quite a bit already. Best viewed from the cemetery on the east side of the building. There's a website (http://www.fabperegrines.org.uk) if you can put up with the anthropomorphism.
If the wind's from the NE it's sometimes better from the west/southwest - often viewable from the London Wetland Centre.
